The book was carefully timed to come out right after the Democratic Convention, to burst the bubble of the usual post-convention 'bump', and before the Republican Convention, so as to not rob any of that thunder. The rumors of the book coming out have been circulating for months and months, with details leaking during that time. Heavily orchastrated timing, with Rove no doubt as the main decision maker.

factcheck.org A group funded by the biggest Republican campaign donor in Texas began running an attack ad Aug. 5 in which former Swift Boat veterans claim Kerry lied to get one of his two decorations for bravery and two of his three purple hearts. But the veterans who accuse Kerry are contradicted by Kerry's former crewmen. One of the accusers says he was on another boat "a few yards" away during the incident which won Kerry the Bronze Star, but the former Army lieutenant whom Kerry plucked from the water that day backs Kerry's account. In an Aug. 10 opinion piece in the conservative Wall Street Journal , Rassmann (a Republican himself) wrote that the ad was "launched by people without decency" who are "lying" and "should hang their heads in shame."
